Wakisashi cu-mai sword
A forged cu-mai wakisashi sword, with a traditional construction with no glue. All pieces of the sword can be disasembled after removal of the locking pin inside the handle.
My approach on this sword was to make it rustic and old-looking. Something that have seen battles and wear over a long ling time.
The blade is forged with carbon steel and copper (cu-mai). Also cu-mai construction in the habaki and tsuba. Other elements in the handle construction are shibuishi metal that i have made myself, decorations in the handle made out of copper and feather damascus and much much more to be able to write here. For detailed information of this sword i recommended to check out my build video of this sword on my YouTube channel: Fagerlund.Bladesmith
